Vaginal Pain--is it cervical erosion?

I recently went to a family planning facility and got a pelvic exam. My doctor said I have a cyst on my right ovary so he prescribed ortho tri-cyclen lo (birth control) he said this would shrink the cyst. I have noticed that when I masturbate, even if I'm really wet..I am extremely sore the next day. I usually have to take a break for a few days because the entrance to my vagina is so sore. I have also noticed that sometimes the day following I get a pink discharge like a light period. I looked online and the only thing like this I could see were polyps or cervical erosion. I think I have cervical erosion because a link I read said it is likely when someone is on the pill or depo provera. Do you think that's a proper diagnosis? Anyone had this problem that could help? Thanks in advance :)

okay, it's the hormones and the cyst, then...you can get acupuncture and it should take care of it for you...the hormones tend to shrink the cyst, but you'll need to get checked. You should have an ultrasound, which is internal.
